Nice pulls Greg! Another crazy named program in the works, looking forward to the prep!

Thanks Shawn. You know me...always going for the programs with the cool name. This one's a concoction of some of my greatest hits from over the years so I gave it a special name. I think it should get me where I need to be as long as the old body holds up.

Thanks Dave. The key part of it today was the "3". For deads I'm mainly sticking with sets of 3 this time. My form always feels strongest with 3 or less reps and I figure that'll give me the best shot of getting to January with no injuries.

If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. -Wendler

Great workout today with my brother at Alan Thrall's Untamed Strength gym. Alan got a bunch of new calibrated Troy plates in so it was fun to workout with those.

Today was heavy bench and light squat day. Bench felt great. My brother looked like he was getting a little tired of spotting me, so I skipped my top 2 SlingShot sets but I got a lot of "regular" bench work in. I did 3 backoff sets at 185 instead. It feels like my strength is building nicely there and my form is feeling pretty good.

Thanks John. Yeah I named that one myself. My current program is a combination of a couple of Wendler templates (1000% Awesome and his 4 Day Full Body) and some other assistance work that has worked well for me so it is definitely a bastardized program. I think it'll help me peak nicely for January.

I really enjoy training at Alan's gym. I hadn't been there in a few months so I talked my brother into making the trip down yesterday. We damn near had the place to ourselves. Just Alan and a few Strongman trainees were there so that was nice. I still like training at home the best but it's nice to go to Alan's or over to Mark Bell's ST gym when I can.

Good workout today. Things were sore from yesterday so the Decline Bench felt good to stretch out the chest and the tris and the deads felt good to stretch out the legs. A good quick no-nonsense workout.

After lifting I took the dogs for a run. We ran 3.39 miles in 40m:47s, climbed a total of 141 ft, and burned an estimated 620 kcal.

Tough workout today but a good one. I went to the doctor yesterday and it turns out I have a sinus infection so he started me on antibiotics. Those always make me feel a little weaker so squats today were extra challenging. I used my shorter 12.5" box and all my squats were to that depth so that was a big win to get all the reps in.

Bench felt a little tough too but it was nice to get the blood flowing in the pecs and tris. All in all a good workout.

Nice work Greg, donít know how young benched again after that huge flat bench volume! Guess declines would have been a good blood flow exercise to flush the DOMS! My sore chest did me in today lol

Thanks Shawn. Yeah this program has me doing some sort of benching every session. I wasn't too sore going into that session but the day after I definitely was sore. My rest day was very welcome. Then I hit it again today with some higher rep sets to get the blood flowing.

Good workout today. The deads felt good and I was able to do DOH on all reps except for the last rep of the last set where I lost my grip and used mixed for a do-over of the final rep. My elbows and chest were a little sore on IBP but I got all my reps in so that was good.
